Iron Man (vol. 4)

Iron Man (vol. 4) was an ongoing comic book series published for four years from January 2005 to January 2009 by Marvel Comics, starring the superhero Iron Man. It was the fourth series with this title to be published, following series that ran from 1968–1996, 1996–1997, and 1998-2004. Over the course of its run, it was published under the different titles: The Invincible Iron Man (#1-12), and Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (#15-35), with the change in indicia occurring after the events of Marvel's Civil War.

The first six issues formed the "Extremis" story, which updated Iron Man's origin story and introduced the Extremis virus.
